Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. UMMA Pop Up: Progressive Acoustic Music with Warren & Flick​ (August 25, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64389 64389-16340375@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, August 25, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Warren & Flick explore the nuanced textures of a two-person band. Using both original material and standards from many genres they have arranged in a personal style, the group finds new depth in the simplicity of the duo. Jacob Warren plays double bass, while Grant Flick plays violin, tenor guitar and mandolin. Currently based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the two met at the 2015 Acoustic Music Seminar (AMS), a program accepting only sixteen young string players from around the world to participate in a week of intense improvisation, composition, and performance training. A part of the Savannah Music Festival in Georgia, AMS is led by multi-instrumentalist Mike Marshall with the help of guitarist Julian Lage.

After discovering their shared musical interests, Jacob and Grant began collaborating as a duo as well as in larger projects including The Leafless and Westbound Situation, both comprised of former AMS participants. Jacob and Grant attend University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, & Dance, where they spend much of their time arranging, composing and performing together. With Jacob’s classical foundation and Grant’s experience in bluegrass and jazz, their contrasting backgrounds give them a unique and compelling musical narrative. ​ Find them on Facebook.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society

The University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society (UMGASS) is holding auditions for The Yeomen of the Guard, or the Merryman and His Maid on Monday, September 9th, Tuesday, September 10th, and Wednesday, September 11th at the Student Theater Arts Complex (STAC), 1201 Kipke Drive in Ann Arbor (directly east of the U-M football stadium) from 7:00 – 10:00 pm. All roles are available for SATB principals and chorus; cast will be selected from the audition pool with no pre-casting. All are welcome to audition, including students, faculty / staff, and general community members of Ann Arbor / Southeast Michigan area. To sign up for an audition time you may either attend the UMGASS Mass Meeting at 7:00 pm on Sunday, September 8th at the Michigan League, or e-mail umgassexec@umich.edu to have a member of the board sign you up by proxy. Walk-ins are also welcome; please arrive before 9:00 pm if you plan to walk-in. Callbacks (if necessary) will be held on the evening of Thursday, September 12th.

Please prepare ~32-64 bars of a selection from musical theater, comic opera, or opera (in English), and provide a legible copy for the accompanist. Be prepared to read selections from the libretto if you are interested in a speaking role. There will be no dance audition for this production. Rehearsals will average two days per week between Sunday afternoon and Thursday evening for both chorus and principals. Production dates are December 5 – 8, 2019, at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater in the Michigan League, with full staging and full orchestra.

The University of Michigan Gilbert & Sullivan Society (UMGASS) was founded in 1947 and is the oldest student-run society nationwide dedicated to performing the operettas of Sir William Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. Each year we bring together students and community members for two fully staged productions of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, which are performed with orchestra at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in downtown Ann Arbor. The quality of our productions sets a high standard for community G&S companies, and our performances, particularly of the lesser-known works of the canon, are benchmarks for similar organizations around the country and the world.

We’re proud to be a great place for future performing arts professionals as well as a creative outlet for students, professors, and community members of all ages looking to blow off steam and have a good time participating in a great show!

The Yeomen of the Guard was the 11th collaboration between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The story takes place at the Tower of London, where the heroic Colonel Fairfax is scheduled to be executed the following morning on questionable grounds. The Colonel’s heirs will be disinherited if he dies unmarried, and so he finds a short-term bride in the strolling player, Elsie Maynard – much to the chagrin of her infatuated traveling partner, the jester Jack Point. Meanwhile, the Colonel’s friends and admirers work for his release – or for his escape, if necessary. Will the Colonel, his impetuous marriage, and the broken-hearted jester all survive until the final curtain? This time there will be no last-minute topsy-turvy revelation to prevent the story’s dramatic conclusion.

Yeomen of the Guard will be directed by David Andrews, who most recently directed UMGASS’s 2018 production of The Grand Duke, and who will be directing with UMGASS for the eighth time, among his 22 semesters with the group. Music Director for this production will be Ezra Donner, a U-M alumnus with a Doctor of Music degree from Indiana University, who conducted previous UMGASS productions of The Mikado, Patience, HMS Pinafore, and The Pirates of Penzance between 2015 and 2017. The Choreographer will be UMGASS veteran Beth Ballbach, who choreographed recent UMGASS productions of Princess Ida, Iolanthe, The Grand Duke, and The Gondoliers, among many others.

We’re proud to be a great place for future performing arts professionals as well as a creative outlet for students, professors, and community members of all ages looking to blow off steam and have a good time participating in a great show!

The Yeomen of the Guard was the 11th collaboration between librettist W.S. Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The story takes place at the Tower of London, where the heroic Colonel Fairfax is scheduled to be executed the following morning on questionable grounds. The Colonel’s heirs will be disinherited if he dies unmarried, and so he finds a short-term bride in the strolling player, Elsie Maynard – much to the chagrin of her infatuated traveling partner, the jester Jack Point. Meanwhile, the Colonel’s friends and admirers work for his release – or for his escape, if necessary. Will the Colonel, his impetuous marriage, and the broken-hearted jester all survive until the final curtain? This time there will be no last-minute topsy-turvy revelation to prevent the story’s dramatic conclusion.

Yeomen of the Guard will be directed by David Andrews, who most recently directed UMGASS’s 2018 production of The Grand Duke, and who will be directing with UMGASS for the eighth time, among his 22 semesters with the group. Music Director for this production will be Ezra Donner, a U-M alumnus with a Doctor of Music degree from Indiana University, who conducted previous UMGASS productions of The Mikado, Patience, HMS Pinafore, and The Pirates of Penzance between 2015 and 2017. The Choreographer will be UMGASS veteran Beth Ballbach, who choreographed recent UMGASS productions of Princess Ida, Iolanthe, The Grand Duke, and The Gondoliers, among many others.

Background Music vs. Neorealist Music: The Case of THE BICYCLE THIEF (September 12, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/63845 63845-15937541@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 12, 2019 4:00pm

Italian filmic neorealism was more an ethic than an esthetic; it was not an organized movement but a constellation of directors and films who made a virtue of necessity. Nonetheless, in hindsight it has come to be defined by its stylistic innovations (for example, the use of location rather than studio, and of non-professional actors). As a result, the critical bibliography on the topic deals extensively with individual films, the auteurs, and with matters of form and content (the introduction of the perspective of the subaltern classes), the contribution of the musical score to the emotional and intellectual impact of the films has been given much less attention.
The purpose of this paper is that of beginning to address that lacuna.

Joseph Francese is University Distinguished Faculty at Michigan State University, Series Editor of “Studi di italianistica moderna e contemporanea nel mondo anglofono/Studies in Modern and Contemporary Italianistica in the Anglophone World” (a monograph series published by Firenze University Press) and Senior Editor emeritus of ITALIAN CULTURE (2003-2018). He is the author of numerous articles and chapters on topics in Renaissance and contemporary literature and film (including an essay on the influence of Cesare Zavattini on Latin American cinema), and has written monographs on Sciascia, Pasolini, postmodern narrative, Italian cultural politics in the 1950s, and the fictions of Eco, Consolo, and Tabucchi.

Serene, pastoral, and deceptively simple–no piece has come to define Aaron Copland’s reputation as the “American voice” of classical music more than the great American ballet, Appalachian Spring. We travel to the fields of Galánta with the composer, Zoltán Koldáy to continue our dance-inspired evening in Hill Auditorium. His Dances of Galánta holds a deeply personal meaning discovered by weaving through the Hungarian folk melodies from his childhood spent in Galánta surrounded by stunning orchestral colors. The distinct and fiery rhythms of Hungarian dances return and close the program with a performance of Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2, op. 83 in B-flat major featuring celebrated pianist Emanuel Ax.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

Join us for a 45-minute interdisciplinary musical performance that highlights the turning points in the history of physics.

The show combines fragments (excerpts from writings by some of the most prominent physicists in history) read and interpreted by a narrator (a role played by Lynnae Lehfeldt in the premiere), with original songs, based on each fragment, composed by Alberto Rojo, and performed by Alberto Rojo (guitar and voice), Michael Gould (percussion), and Dave Haughey (cello). The project explores the intersection between the arts and the sciences, and postulates that art and science are not antagonistic alternatives in the search for truth; rather, there is a broad territory of coexistence.

The movements are as follows Galileo (The Book of the Universe); Isaac Newton (From the Principia); Pierre Maupertuis (Least Action); Rudolf Clausius (The Limiting Condition); Ludwig Boltzmann (Atomic movements); James Clerk Maxwell (From letters to Faraday); Marie Curie (Radioactivity); Albert Einstein (From the 1905 paper); Max Planck (The quantum of action); Werner Heisenberg (Analogies); J. S. Bell (Remote Instruments); Richard Feynman (Trees are made of air); Vera Rubin (Dark Matter)

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Performed by the Mark Lomax Quartet.

The program is both a performance of the suite from the 400, a 12-album cycle that was released in January 2019, and a discussion among the audience and the performers. The music and discussion explore Black America in pre-colonial Afrika, the Ma’afa (the 400 years between 1619 and 2019), and Afro-futurism, a vision of community strength and unity in the next 400 years. The purpose is to engage students, faculty, staff, and artists in an experience that educates, entertains, and informs, and also inspires and uplifts the human spirit through the power of music. The work was presented to a sold-out audience at the Lincoln Theatre in January 26, 2019.

Luke Dahl is assistant professor of Composition and Computer Technologies in the Music Department at University of Virginia where he teaches classes on music technology, audio signal processing, and music interaction design. His research is primarily situated in the interdisciplinary field of New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) which investigates and explores the intersection of technology and musical practice through the activities of design, musical performance, and empirical research. He is especially interested in systems for digitally-mediated real-time music collaboration, and in the role of movement and gesture in music. 

Dahl has recently released alpha versions of two software libraries: Modosc is a Max library for processing motion-capture data in real-time to enable movement-based interactions, and was created in collaboration with Dr. Federico Visi. Bf-Pd is a library written in PureData which facilitates real-time data-sharing and collaboration between musicians in spontaneously formed ensembles. Bf-Pd was developed in collaboration with Dr Florent Berthaut at Université de Lille.

This conference on “The Cultural History of France and the World” will bring together current and former students of Dena Goodman’s in her honor. These interdisciplinary scholars build on the foundations of cultural history while also defining and embracing new historical
questions in ways that keep gender, race, sexuality, and cultural practice at the core of their research. This conference will feature papers that centralize the margins of the French empire; foreground interpersonal relationships in the process of artistic, intellectual, and cultural production; and position science as an integral part of politics, culture, and society, including historical practice.

The conference will feature the research of current University of Michigan students working in these areas as well as former students engaging in interdisciplinary historical scholarship on French cultural history. Michigan faculty will chair each session. Dena Goodman, one of the most innovative historians in this field, will provide closing remarks for the conference.

Kenneth Kiesler, conductor
Xiaoya Liu, piano (Winner, 2019 SMTD Concerto Competition)

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The University Symphony Orchestra (USO), conducted by its music director Kenneth Kiesler, opens its season with an exciting program of masterworks by French and Russian composers. Xiaoya Liu, a winner of the 2019 SMTD Concerto Competition, joins the USO to perform one of the most virtuosic and justly popular piano concertos of the 20th Century, the Prokofiev Third. After Mussorgsky breathed musical life into the work of artist Victor Hartmann with his set of piano pieces called Pictures at an Exhibition, other composers transformed it into a piece for symphony orchestra. The task stirred the imagination and creativity of perhaps the greatest orchestrator of the era–or any era–Maurice Ravel. The result, with its stunning palette of colors, demanding solo passages, and sheer sonic opulence, has become one of the most widely performed and beloved pieces of the symphonic repertoire.

PROGRAM-
Berlioz- Roman Carnival Overture
Prokofiev- Piano Concerto No. 3
Mussorgsky/Ravel- Pictures at an Exhibition

At the end of the seventeenth century, Leonora Duarte (1610–1678), a Jewish converso living in Antwerp, wrote seven five-part Sinfonias for viol consort — the only known seventeenth-century viol music written by a woman. This music is testament to a formidable talent for composition. Born in Antwerp to a prominent family of merchants and art collectors who had immigrated from Portugal in the early sixteenth century (friends of Vermeer, and possibly Rubens), Leonora received a superb musical education that included instruction on harpsichord, lute, and viol, as well as lessons in composition. Her musical evenings at home quickly became well-known ports of call for traveling diplomats and literati, among them Constantijn Huygens, William and Margaret Cavendish, and composer Nicholas Lanier. This paper will consider Leonora and her music as products of diverse influences within the landscape of post-Inquisition Antwerp, as evidence of complex and symbiotic relationships with male contemporaries, and as vital testimony to the cultural accomplishments of women conversos in early modern Europe. It will draw upon musical analysis, critical theory, issues of gender — and Sonnambula’s recordings of the works as musical examples (Centaur Records, 2019). What emerges is a narrative in which the embodied experience of musical performance allowed Leonora to navigate the waters of social diplomacy within the broader context of Antwerp’s outward dedication to cultural exchange.

Event co-sponsored with the Academy of Early Music.

Ultimately a question Louis cannot answer, he will try to illuminate the greatness about selected/popular concert pieces. Why do we love the Beethoven Fifth Symphony? What was some other music contemporary with this masterpiece and what makes it a masterpiece? The instructor will rely on recordings as well as his own playing in these sessions.
Dr. Louis Nagel, instructor, is Professor Emeritus of piano and piano literature after serving for forty-seven years on the faculty of the UM School of Music Theatre and Dance.

Yandong Grand Singers (September 24, 2019 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/64719 64719-16434925@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 7:30pm
Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Center for World Performance Studies and Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies present the Yandong Grand Singers at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre on September 24, 2019 at 7:30pm. In bright voices and natural harmonies shaped by the unique environment of the area, the Dong people of Guizhou, China sing about nature, romantic love, history and moral values. For the Dong people, Grand Song is an indispensable part of life, just as their saying goes, “rice feeds the body–but songs feed the soul”. The Dong people transmit much of their history, culture and knowledge through songs that accompany them throughout their lives. Choirs of children, young and senior people are formed in every village, representing a crucial symbol of Dong ethnic identity and cultural heritage.

The Yandong Grand Singers is a choir formed by farmers from Yandong Village, specializing in the “Grand Song” of the Dong people - polyphonic music known to the world only in recent decades. The repertoire includes a range of genres such as ballads, children’s songs, songs of greeting and imitative songs that test performers’ virtuosity at mimicking the sounds of animals. Taught by masters to choirs of disciples, Grand Songs are performed formally in the drum-tower, the landmark venue for rituals, entertainment and meetings in a Dong village, or more spontaneously in homes or public places. In 2009, the Dong musical tradition was listed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage in China. This will mark the group’s first full US tour, having previously appeared at Carnegie Hall China Festival and the International International Festival for Vocal Music in Leipzig, Germany.

Michael Haithcock, conductor
Liz Ames, piano
Nicholas Music, tenor

Pre-concert conversation in the lower lobby at 7:15 PM with Liz Ames, Michael Daugherty, and Michael Haithcock.

The influence of J.S. Bach greatly inspired these works by Michael Daugherty, David Maslanka, and Igor Stravinsky. Retrospective casting of Bach’s genius illuminates their own unique compositional voices. A Baroque form employed by Ralph Vaughan Williams, a melancholy song by John Dowland adapted by Percy Grainger, and a period drinking tune disguised by Anne Clyne further illustrate the diversity of “almost Baroque” musical practices.

PROGRAM:
Ralph Vaughan Williams- Toccata Marziale
Percy Grainger- Bell-Piece (after Dowland), Nicholas Music, solo tenor
Anne Clyne- Masquerade
David Maslanka- Traveler
Stravinsky- Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, Liz Ames, soloist
Michael Daugherty- Bells for Stokowski

Ama Oforiwaa Aduonum—researcher, writer, choreographer, and performer.

The award-winning and nationally-recognized performance art piece The Walking with My Ancestors: Cape Coast Castle (2019) is a story that takes the audience through a ritual journey that includes live drumming, storytelling, song, dance, and drama and leads to revelation, reconciliation, and rebirth. It is a human story about triumph over adversity, hope, resilience, emotional justice, love, and survival.

Kenneth Kiesler conductor
Ayana Terauchi, flute (Winner, 2019 SMTD Concerto Competition)

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The second concert of the USO’s 2019-20 season presents great, affirming pieces by American composers Samuel Barber and Lowell Liebermann, and the nearly unrelenting tragic story of the final symphony by Johannes Brahms. All three pieces pay homage to the music of the past while breaking new, sometimes revolutionary, ground. Samuel Barber’s Second Essay, argues its case in the fashion of a literary essay with an argument and an aspirational conclusion. The Fourth Symphony of Brahms offers what may be considered the pinnacle or summation of Brahms’ symphonic writing. Winner of the 2019 SMTD Concerto Competition, and member of the USO, Ayana Terauchi, performs the Flute Concerto by Lowell Liebermann.

PROGRAM:
Barber- Second Essay
Lowell Liebermann- Flute Concerto

The video’s science fiction narrative explores the power of the Divine Feminine through collaborations with JD Samson, visual artist Jennifer Meridian, and the band TEEN.

Princess is a performance art duo, a collaboration between Alexis Gideon and Michael O’Neill that uses music as the backbone of a multi-disciplinary practice. Princess has performed at the Andy Warhol Museum, The Bass, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, MCA San Diego, MIT List Visual Arts Center, MOCA Cleveland, New Museum, Wexner Center for the Arts and many other institutions.

Princess explores queerness and the concept of masculinity. Simultaneously gay, straight, queer, masculine and feminine, Princess embodies the fluidity and coherence between the seemingly contradictory. Princess was formed in 2004 in the Chicago DIY Performance space Texas Ballroom. The duo released a self-titled LP and performed until 2006 when they went on to pursue other paths, reuniting for this project in 2017.

U-M Native American Studies Presents: Against Hungry Listening with Dylan Robinson (October 17, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68115 68115-17011955@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 17, 2019 4:00pm

How are settler colonial and Indigenous listening practices different? How can listening be extractive, a way to access and use Indigenous resources? What are alternative listening practices that connect listener and song-life rather than make a distinction between them? This presentation provides an overview of forms of extractive or “hungry” perception, and alternatives to these that emerge from Indigenous sensory engagement. 

Dylan Robinson is a xwélméxw artist and writer (Stó:lō Nation, Sqwa), and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen’s University. His current work focuses on the re-connection of Indigenous songs with communities who were prohibited by law to sing them as part of Canada’s Indian Act from 1882-1951. Robinson’s previous publications include the edited volumes Music and Modernity Among Indigenous Peoples of North America (2018); Arts of Engagement: Taking Aesthetic Action in and Beyond the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2016); and Opera Indigene (2011). His monograph, Hungry Listening, is forthcoming with Minnesota University Press in early 2020. Additionally, Robinson is curator of the Ka’tarohkwi Festival of Indigenous Arts in Kingston, and along with Candice Hopkins, is curator of the internationally touring exhibition Soundings featuring “scores for decolonial action” by Indigenous artists.

This program is organized by the U-M Department of Native American Studies and co-sponsored by the Department of American Culture, History of Art, the Humanities Collaboratory, Multi Ethnic Student Affairs (MESA), and the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).

A busy and varied performance schedule and appearances on more than 80 recordings have led to his recognition as “an excellent composer, striking the right balance between form and freedom” (Signal to Noise), “a modern day renaissance musician” (Dusted) and “a seasoned improviser with impressive extended technique and peculiar artistic flair” (All Music Guide).

Long takes, those uncommonly protracted stretches of uncut film, have been celebrated, imitated and collected since film’s beginnings as markers of virtuosic cinematography and of directorial style. This paper will reopen the matter of the long take in terms of aurality: the space defined by the camera is also always a place of sound, which establishes precise economies of hearing and seeing.

This talk explores the world of names, naming, and namelessness in troubadour songs and in the manuscripts that transmit them. I show how the manuscript lyric anthologies known as *chansonniers *participate in the name games that are an integral part of troubadour lyric poetics. While names in manuscripts can be important evidence, they do not correspond neatly to modern notions of the author as an individual with a fixed historical identity. By shifting the focus of inquiry to manuscript attributions, and particularly to female author attributions, I demonstrate the complexity of medieval understandings of lyric authorship. I challenge especially certain modern (and often gendered) assumptions about the authorship of troubadour songs, and critique those book historical methods that can reinforce such assumptions. My conclusions are grounded in a new approach to troubadour manuscripts of the 13th and 14th centuries, but the central issues of textual stability and authorial identity that I address are significant more broadly to both medievalists and modernists. My approach, elaborated in my larger book project, makes possible new ways of understanding the authorship of troubadour song.

In this paper, I analyze and contrast the aural epistemology beneath birdwatching in contemporary Colombia with the birdsongs in Ana Maria Romano’s “El Suelo desde el Viento” (The land from the Wind). Such comparison suggests that listening to birds can be sensorial means to study understandings of nature and environment in relation with hegemonic notions of biodiversity and alternative experiences of acoustic ecology and listening.

FellowSpeak: “'He’d be a good rhymer': Polish Hip-Hop and the Legacy of Romanticism" (October 22, 2019 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/66073 66073-16686695@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, October 22, 2019 12:30pm

2019-20 Postdoctoral Fellow Alena Aniskiewicz gives a 30-minute talk followed by Q & A.

In 2012, the Polish rapper Doniu told *The New York Times*, “If Mickiewicz was alive today; he’d be a good rhymer.” Identifying Adam Mickiewicz—a nineteenth-century Romantic poet—as a precursor to the “rhymers” of contemporary hip-hop, Doniu’s assertion speaks to Polish hip-hop communities’ efforts to locate the international genre within national cultural traditions. This talk will examine the Romantic legacies of “freestyling” and politically engaged lyrics as they are referenced and performed in the work of Polish hip-hop artist Peja and his group Slums Attack. Capitalizing on the resonance between national and genre ideals of authenticity and speaking to and for marginalized communities, Peja positions himself as heir to the Romantic poets whose work has shaped ideas of Polishness for two hundred years. In so doing, he performs a vision a Poland that remains defined by its national past, even as it embraces a modern global music.

Donated to the University and lovingly restored by SMTD's director of piano technology Robert Grijalva, this recording is the first by a U-M student to feature the instrument upon which the composer created such iconic works as Porgy and Bess. Lee and Brown will perform some of Jascha Heifetz's arrangements from the opera as well as works by contemporary composers that draw upon the Gershwin spirit, including works by Michigan composers such as William Bolcom, Michael Daugherty, and Patrick Harlin.

Location: School of Public Health Bldg I and Crossroads and Tower
Organized By: MENA ( Middle Eastern and North African) Public Health

You are cordially invited to this year’s “Dia de Los Muertos” event taking place on November 1st from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in the School of Public Health’s Community Room 1680. MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) Public Health, La Salud, and PHSAD (Public Health Students of African Descent) have partnered to present a Dia de Los Muertos event which is meant to commemorate all the lives lost to any discrimination or racism in the U.S. and internationally.

Dia de Los Muertos stems from Mexican traditions and originates from Aztec practices. We use this day to celebrate, not mourn, the lives of our beloved departed and rejoice by sharing ofrendas that remember the individual as they were in life. Although this festive occasion is meant to welcome our loved ones, there are many lives that were forgotten both in life and death. These lives were victimized, racialized, and prosecuted during life as a result of structural racism and exclusion. This year, we hope to raise awareness for the lives that were silenced and empower future practitioners to advocate for these communities and prevent future injustices.
We celebrate in community to provide space for the living and dead, and invite you to join us for an evening of activities, dialogue, food and performances! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing mild memory loss, research has shown that the visual and expressive arts can be good for your mind. In addition, great enjoyment is to be found in seeking out the sights, sounds, textures, and good feelings that come with looking at, learning, and sharing feelings about paintings, music, and other creative arts.

UMMA's trained docents will accompany small groups for a guided tour and provide the opportunity for everyone to experience different kinds of art and share their responses.

Transformismo masculino: Drag King Performance in Post-Socialist Cuba (November 4, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68091 68091-17009820@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 4, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Lane Hall
Organized By: Lesbian, Gay, Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI)

In this talk, I consider the work transformismo masculino (drag king performance) is doing during a time of social and economic transformation in post-socialist Cuba. Over the past ten years, Cuba has witnessed the growth of a private economic sector dependent on tourism and the unfolding of a so-called “sexual revolution” aimed at combating homophobia and transphobia. Both of these reform movements have been criticized, however, for the lack of material gains experienced by women and Afrodescendants on the island. In response, some independent projects have emerged that draw on histories of Afrofeminist and antiracist critique in Cuba to elaborate an Afroqueer social vision for the future. I examine the performances of Havana’s transformistas masculinas (drag kings) in this context to discuss how they critique normative masculinity, create space for Black lesbian women, and promote dignity for ordinary Cubans. This work, along with the broader Afroqueer movement of which it is a part, resonates with related artist-activism throughout the hemisphere that imagines social possibilities that go beyond the well-documented alliances between neoliberalism and LGBT rights.

Mindfulness is the process of bringing a present-centered, intentional, and non-judgmental state of awareness to everyday experience. Emerging research suggests that practicing mindfulness may result in a number of beneficial outcomes for musicians, including improved focus, psychological resilience, and pro-social feelings and behaviors. But what do we truly know about mindfulness and its potential to transform our life and work? How can we separate the hype from the reality, and how might mindfulness fit into our already busy lives? In this talk, Diaz will discuss the promises and perils of mindfulness from his perspective as teacher, scholar, and practitioner of this ancient practice.

Diaz is associate professor of Music Education at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and an active scholar and teacher in the field of contemplative science. He is also affiliate faculty for IU’s Cognitive Science program and co-director of the Music and Mind Lab at Indiana. Diaz is the founder and director of the Institute for Mindfulness-Based Wellness and Pedagogy, where he collaborates with an international group of artists, educators, and scholars on disseminating research and best practices on the art of mindful living, teaching, and performance. Along with his work on mindfulness, Diaz maintains an active schedule as a performer, conductor, adjudicator, and clinician. His work on mindfulness has been published in top-tier music education and music psychology journals, and has been featured on NPR, The Huffington Post, and other local and national media outlets.

Nam Center Colloquium Series | Pop City: Korean Popular Culture and the Selling of Place (November 5, 2019 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/65098 65098-16517510@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 5, 2019 4:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

Cosponsored by the Department of Communication and Media.

Pop City examines the use of Korean television dramas and K-pop music to promote urban and rural places in South Korea. Building on the phenomenon of Korean pop culture, Youjeong Oh argues that pop culture-featured place selling mediates two separate domains: political decentralization and the globalization of Korean popular culture. The local election system introduced in the mid 90s has stimulated strong desires among city mayors and county and district governors to develop and promote their areas. Riding on the Korean Wave—the overseas popularity of Korean entertainment, also called Hallyu—Korean cities have actively used K-dramas and K-pop idols in advertisements designed to attract foreign tourists to their regions. Hallyu, meanwhile, has turned the Korean entertainment industry into a speculative field into which numerous players venture by attracting cities as sponsors.

By analyzing the process of culture-featured place marketing, Pop City shows that urban spaces are produced and sold just like TV dramas and pop idols by promoting spectacular images rather than substantial physical and cultural qualities. Popular culture-associated urban promotion also uses the emotional engagement of its users in advertising urban space, just as pop culture draws on fans’ and audiences’ affective commitments to sell its products. Oh demonstrates how the speculative, image-based, and consumer-exploitive nature of popular culture shapes the commodification of urban space and ultimately argues that pop culture–mediated place promotion entails the domination of urban space by capital in more sophisticated and fetishized ways.

Youjeong Oh is Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Her topics of interest include urban processes in Korea and East Asia, development and social movement, Korean popular culture, and media and space.

What could be more magical than to fall in love in Paris? In one of the most touching romances ever imagined, a poor poet of the Latin Quarter meets his charming young neighbor by accident and both become completely smitten with each other. The new couple and their group of artisan friends personify the values of the bohemian lifestyle, in which art and love stand before all else. These young Parisians live passionately and ardently – until, at last, life gives out. Set in post-World War II Paris and filled with tenderness and pathos, Puccini’s La Bohème captures the enthusiasm of youth and the joy of true love.

La Bohème has won the hearts of audiences since its premiere in 1896. It features the beloved and exquisite arias “Mi chiamano Mimi,” “Che gelida manina,” and the flirtatious waltz “Quando m’en vo.” The New York Times declared Bohème “the world’s most popular opera,” and new listeners continue to discover its timeless story through Jonathan Larson’s beloved rock-opera update, Rent. Whether this is your first experience or your tenth, La Bohème’s spirited music and universal tale is sure to capture your imagination and your heart.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

CPO: Régulo Stabilito, Leonard Bopp, and Christopher Gaudreault, conductors.
CSO: Rotem Weinberg and Elias Miller, conductors.

The Campus Philharmonia Orchestra presents a program in which music inspired by folk tunes and dances serves as the narrator of meaningful stories. The program starts with incidental music of L’ Arlesienne by Bizet. Dance music then takes the stage with the Serenade Lyrique by Elgar, and the Valse Triste by Sibelius. Finally, the program ends with Tchaikovsky’s Marche Slave, a piece that combines Serbian folk songs with the Russian national anthem, celebrating the triumph of the Slavonic people over tyranny.

The Campus Symphony Orchestra performs a program of orchestral favorites inspired by singing. The program opens with the festive overture to Wagner’s opera The Meistersinger, followed by Rachmaninov’s passionate and lyrical Vocalise. The program concludes with Mendelssohn’s solemn “Reformation” Symphony.

In the early 1930s, jazz artists like Jack Teagarden, Billie Holiday, Django Reinhardt and Lonnie Johnson graced the stages and ballrooms of America. Ballads, melancholy and blue, and hot tunes, laced with exciting improvisation, told stories of tragedy and joy and provided dancers with rhythm. Ray Kamalay and His Red Hot Peppers are reminiscent of this era. They have wowed audiences at some of the finer venues in North America, including Interlochen and the Philadelphia Folk Festival. Ray Kamalay, on guitar and vocals, will be joined by Gary Schunk on piano, and Kurt Krahnke on bass.
